Perovskite solar cells (PSCs) have attracted extensive attention due to their higher power conversion efficiency (PCE) and simple fabrication process. However, the open-circuit voltage (V) loss remains a significant impediment to enhance device performance. Here, a facile strategy to boost the V to 95.5% of the Shockley-Queisser (S-Q) limit through the introduction of a universal multifunctional polymer additive is demonstrated. This additive effectively passivates the cation and anion defects simultaneously, thereby leading to the transformation from the strong n-type to weak n-type of perovskite films. Benefitting from the energy level alignment and the suppression of bulk non-radiative recombination, the quasi-Fermi level splitting (QFLS) is enhanced. Consequently, the champion devices with 1.59 eV-based perovskite reach the highest V value of 1.24 V and a PCE of 23.86%. Furthermore, this strategy boosts the V by at least 0.07 V across five different perovskite systems, a PCE of 25.04% is achieved for 1.57 eV-based PSCs, and the corresponding module (14 cm) also obtained a high PCE of 21.95%. This work provides an effective and universal strategy to promote the V approach to the detailed balance theoretical limit.

In this work, we present the novel application of SiN stress-engineering techniques for the suppression of short-channel effects in AlGaN/GaN high-electron-mobility transistors (HEMTs), accompanied by a comprehensive analysis of the underlying mechanisms. The compressive stress SiN passivation significantly enhances the barrier height at the heterojunction beneath the gate, maintaining it above the quasi-Fermi level even as rises to 20 V. As a result, in GaN devices with a gate length of 160 nm, the devices with compressive stress SiN passivation exhibit significantly lower drain-induced barrier lowering (DIBL) factors of 2.

Recent reports have shown that nickel oxide (NiO) when adopted as a hole transport layer (HTL) in combination with organic layers, such as PTAA or self-assembled monolayers (SAMs), leads to a higher device yield for both single junction as well as tandem devices. Nevertheless, implementing NiO in devices without PTAA or SAM is seldom reported to lead to high-performance devices. In this work, we assess the effect of key NiO properties deemed relevant in literature, namely- resistivity and surface energy, on the device performance and systematically compare the NiO-based devices with those based on PTAA.

In recent years, perovskite has been widely adopted in series-connected monolithic tandem solar cells (TSCs) to overcome the Shockley-Queisser limit of single-junction solar cells. Perovskite-organic TSCs, comprising a wide-bandgap (WBG) perovskite solar cell (pero-SC) as the front cell and a narrow-bandgap organic solar cell (OSC) as the rear cell, have recently drawn attention owing to the good stability and potential high power conversion efficiency (PCE). However, WBG pero-SCs usually exhibit higher voltage losses than regular pero-SCs, which limits the performance of TSCs.

Herein, the strategy of constructing an extra-electric field is presented by introducing ferroelectric polymer dipoles (FPD)-β-poly(1,1-difluoroethylene)-to suppress the QFLS deficit. The directional polarization of FPD can enhance the built-in electric field (BEF) and thus promote the charge transfer at the perovskite/ETL interface, which effectively suppresses non-radiative recombination.

The photoelectrochemical (PEC) dual-electron pathway for water oxidation to produce hydrogen peroxide (HO) shows promising prospects. However, the dominance of the four-electron pathway leading to O evolution competes with this reaction, severely limiting the efficiency of HO production. Here, we report a InO passivator-coated BiVO (BVO) photoanode, which effectively enhances the selectivity and yield of HO production via PEC water oxidation.
